Set up an agile team environment to build an Ionic app - This tutorial (authored by Chris Felix, Advisory IT Specialist at IBM, @chrisfelix82 on Twitter) shows how to manage team development of a mobile application through a DevOps-based approach. Specifically, you'll see how to develop a hybrid Cordova application with Ionic — but many of the techniques apply to any app, hybrid or native. I'll show you how to take an Ionic Framework-based Cordova app and apply team development, back-end services, and quality assurance management. To do this, you'll use IBM DevOps Services with Git integration and two IBM Bluemix services: the Mobile Cloud Data service and Mobile Quality Assurance (MQA) service.

To introduce you to the best of Bluemix DevOps Services, Lauren Schaefer (Growth Hacking Engineer and Social Media Lead for IBM Bluemix DevOps Services) has written this four-part tutorial series.

In Part 1, you learn how to deploy and make changes to a simple application. In Part 2, you learn how to deploy an application that uses a Bluemix service. In Part 3, you learn how to use the planning capabilities in Bluemix DevOps Services to plan and track your app, how to add a new Bluemix service to your app, and how to write code that makes use of a Bluemix service. In Part 4, you learn how to use the Delivery Pipeline service to deploy your app to Bluemix automatically whenever you or someone else on your team pushes code to your project's repository.

As a bonus to all of the knowledge you get by working through the examples in this series, you also get an application that checks the prices of items in online stores for you, so you don't have to surf the web to see if your favorite items are on sale! (Can you tell I love to shop?)
